i know that the union square merchants had a lot of concerns going in and your team has worked incredibly hard to mitigate the concerns to the merchants and the shoppers and the people passing through that stockton street utility relocation work. do you anticipate that the construction, if it happened on columbus ave., would be more impactful than that one? or will you have ways that you can mitigate that construction site as well? because i'm hearing a lot of concerns about dust and noise. i have walked by the stockton street when it's going on on a regular basis and it doesn't seem to be that bad in terms of dust and noise, for the most part. but could you maybe talk about what can be done to mitigate the construction on columbus similar to what's been done to mitigate it on stockton? >> director brinkman, the proposed construction work or retrieval shaft on columbus is quite a bit less in terms of scope than the work at any of the other three sites along the central subway. the mitigation measures that we've successfully deployed at these sites would hold true in north beach. we have t

nobody has to join a union or pay union dues. if a majority vote to be represent represented, to have a voice in the workplace, that representative has to represent everybody. there can be no discrimination. all the benefits have to flow to everybody else and they have to pay everybody a reasonable fee to help the union represent everybody, so essentially it is anti-union. >> but there's people who have the problem with that fee that you're talking about right in theory that fee could go to something ultimately that an individual doesn't support and this has been a main contention in this debate that's been going back and forth. why do you think the numbers are so divided. you look at the state of michigan, the home of the big three, it's a union state. why is the number so down the middle when it comes to supporting right to work state in that particular state? >> because i think the issue is explained, it isn't down the middle. people in michigan understand that having a representative, a voice in the workplace, created the mid
